Val Gardena Ski Resort

Connected to some of the most extensive skiing in the world through access to the Dolomiti Superski area, Val Gardena ski resort is truly a bucket-list ski destination. Val Gardena ski resort is located in a valley in the South Tyrol area of the Italian Dolomites and is home to three mountain villages; Selva Gardena, Santa Cristina and Ortisei.

Here where Italy and Austria collide, Val Gardena hosts beautifully managed pistes that connect into the Dolomites ski area, offering up access to the famous Sella Ronda ski circuit. With the Sella Massif at its centre – a stunning mountain range, not to mention a UNESCO World heritage site – this is possibly one of the most scenic skis to be had in Europe.

Some of the best winter sports champions in Europe have spent many an hour carving up the slopes of Val Gardena ski resort and there are state-of-the-art lift facilities in place to minimise queues and maximise your time spent enjoying the pristine slopes. With Tyrolean culture still upheld in the area, Val Gardena ski resort hosts a lively nightlife and fantastic culinary tradition. There is plenty on offer to entertain visitors from gastronomic delights of Italian and traditional dishes to wine bars and happy hour hangouts.
